Evans; "Cervantes," Mr.. C. M. Pyke;
"Premier." Saml ". Keene; "Don
Sancho," Louis DeLange; minister of
War;" Mr.. Alex. Clark. The other
characters were very iittingly cast. The
costuming of the piece was all that
could be desired.
All the roles particularized above were
done in a most acceptable manner. Miss
Winston looked 'every inch king"
and sang in xcellent voice. Miss Man
fred was really charming as the "Queen"
and sang with sweetness and expression.
Both their "Msjesties" dressed exqui.
sitely.
Miss Tellula Evans was heard for the
first time, and her sweet voice and fine
execution made most pleasing impress
sion. She has gone par saltum to the
top notch of popularity with the people
Of this city. Her rendition of the music
in her score was all but perfect. This
charming little lady is no stranger to
California, being born in this State, and
she is native whom our people may
well be proud of. Her reputation in
the East is thoroughly established.
Mr.. Pyke was in fine voice, and hav.
ing good deal to do was heard to great
advantage-which could not be said OF
the role he took on the previous even.

self in. Mr.. Keene made hit all along
he line. in the role of the "Premier,"
and won new laurels at the hands
of the public. DeLange added
largely to the popularity he won on his
| first appearance. His topical song,
Birdie" took the house by storm. Mr..
Clark as the minister of War" moulted
no feather as compared with the part he
was cast to in Prince Methusalem He
fitted. or rather did not fit his armor, to
most ridiculous degree. All the solos
were well sung particularly those by the
"King" and "Queen" in the last act.
The ensembles went with great spirit and
accuracy ali through the opera; and the
verdict of the people is unanimous for
the Pyke troupe.
To night The Oath of Loye will hold

PHILADELPHIA, March 22.--Herbert
Welsh, Secretary of the Indian Rights
Association, who went to Fort Marion,
Fla, to investigate the condition of the
Apaches there, has returnedland made
a report. Last October there were 500
Indians confined there. Now there are
447. Forty.four Of the original number
were taken to Carlisle and twenty.three,
principally women and children, have
died in confinement. Welsh declares
that of ninety male prisoners only thirty
have been guilty of recent misdoing.
These were Geronimo's men. Many of
the others have been long employed by
the Government as scouts, and some as
sisted in the capture of Geronimo. but
they were confined on the same footing
with Geronimo's hostiles. Welch says
the clothing of the Indians during the
winter has been totally insufficient and
unsuitable. Most of them were only
rags, which they brought with them
from Arizona. .....

Meeting or the Log Cabin club.

A large and enthusiastic meeting of the
Log Cabin Democratic Club was held last
night at their headquarters, City Hotel,
where a number of new members was sd
ded to the club and other business of in
terests bearing upon the campaign work
was transacted. Among other matters
of importance for the Clubs considera-
ton, Mr.. w. L. Pfeiffer submitted the
following resolutions. which were unan-
imously adopted
Whereas, 1t has come to. the knowledge
of members of this club that cenbain per
sons now holding positions under the
Federal government, not content with
drawing good salaries and simply voting
their principles, which they would be
allowed to do, are making themselves
conspicuous by becoming violently par.
tisan in their methods TO further the Re-
publican cause; and
Whereas, These Office holders have
publicly proclaimed, by their actions,
as can be testified to by competent wit
nesses, that they are abnoxiously oppos-
ing the administration by which they are
supported, and contrary to right, reason
and in direct conflict with ptovi ion of
the Civil Service under which clause
they are continued in office; therefore be
it
Res0lced, That this club, a recognized
Democratic organization of Annapolis
since 1876, always true to party principles
and instincts, hereby stamps its political
condemnation upon such officials and
promises to do everything in its power
to cause their removal from officers which
rightly belong to those who are in sympa-
thy with the administration. Believing
that these sentiments meet the approba
tion of every loyal Democrat i'll this city
and county, it is
Resolred, That the Secretary of this
meeting enclose a copy of these resolu-
tions to our Congressman with the re
quest that these extremely offensive par
tisans may be removed forthwith. Com
mittees were also appointed looking to
the organization of the White Swan and
First Ward Clubs.

Opera House Last Night.

The Templeton Opera Troupe gave the
Mikado last night to we'll filled house
Manager Hill deserves the thanks and en-
couragement of our community for Civ
ing us so fine an entertainment In it's
tout ensemble the company is fine one,
and when we go to particularize there are
several members of it who would attract
prominent notice in the best Metropolitan
companies. The especial honors of the
evening were divided between Mr.. Vince
Ian as Koko, Mr. Flint as Pooh bah, Mr..
Hartly as Nanki Poo, Miss Alice Vane
as Katisha and Miss Hattie Starr as Yum
Yum. Mr.. Wheelan as Koko sang his part
well and acted it with an appreciation of
the histrionic rarely seen. There is more
scope to this character than any other in
the piece. In the song The flowers that
bloom in the spring, he was encored four
times. His singing was good, his acting
good, and his make up very like an in
spired idiot. Mr.. Flint's voice, especially
in the low notes, is very fine and he acted
the character of Lord high everything"
to perfection. We are inclined to.the be-
lief that he held Office in Washington for
some time. Miss Alice Vane as Katisha
showed she had lost none of the old
power, and both sang and acted with
spirit Her voice was as fresh as it was
when she first made her appearance here
eight years ago, and her acting was very
fine. In the part of the play when Nanki
Poo shows his preference for Yum Yum,
her acting truly indicated that Hell hath
no fury like woman scorned," and the
pathos in the song accompanying this
scene was well expressed in her voice
Miss Hattie Starr has voice of great
sweetness, though somewhat lacking in
power. In the dramatic touches OF the
piece she was perfect, and her acting fine.

Reed good Mikado, and in the comb!
